Answer:

B

Explanation:

Two events A and B are called independent, when


P(B|A)=P(B),

where
P(B|A) is the probability that B occurs given that A has already occurred.

A = randomly selected person is a student

B = randomly selected person prefer "Vikings"

B|A = randomly selected student prefer "Vikings"

Probabilities:


P(A)=(100)/(125)=(4)/(5)=0.8\\ \\P(B|A)=(80)/(85)=(16)/(17)\approx 0.94

Since


0.80\\eq 0.94

we can state that events are not independent.
